Navigating trauma, moral injury, and life’s toughest transitions.

Thrive in your wild.

Are you adrift after trauma, moral distress, or loss?

Whether you’re an individual seeking healing, a couple rebuilding connection, or an organization facing complex challenges, you deserve a guide who meets you with creativity, rigor, and authenticity.

You want a therapist who’s as creative, fearless, and authentic as you are—someone who can meet you in the pit and help you emerge stronger.

I’m Dr. Jaimie Lusk—a clinical psychologist, consultant, and fellow explorer of the depths of human experience. I specialize in guiding high-performing, sometimes reluctant or ambivalent adventurers through trauma, moral injury, grief, and midlife pivots using a blend of evidence-based methods and creative exploration.

Why Work With Dr. Lusk?

As a board-certified clinical psychologist, national CPT trainer, and founder of Oregon Veteran Surf Club, I blend evidence-based methods with creative exploration—helping clients and organizations achieve real transformation. I work best with those seeking an active, imaginative partnership: together, we’ll venture into the depths, face hard truths, and uncover hidden strengths. Our sessions draw from clinical research, evidence-based therapies, ancient wisdom traditions, nature, art, poetry, literature, and—most importantly—your own “inner knower” to illuminate what’s been avoided.

Whether you’re wrestling with trauma, moral injury, grief, betrayal, or feel lost in a “dark wood,” I’ll meet you with directness, humor, and genuine partnership. Sessions are efficient, purposeful, and infused with a spirit of adventure. Your story is honored. Your defenses are respected. My commitment is to help you integrate what’s been fragmented. Together, we’ll reconnect with your vitality and return to life with renewed purpose. You don’t have to do this alone—and you don’t have to settle for boring therapy. If you’re ready to go deep and embrace a little adventure, I’m ready to go with you.

  • "You have made a huge difference in my life. You helped me to be more compassionate. You are straightforward without making me feel judged. You infuse difficult sessions with humor and kindness. Thank you for helping me feel safe, valued, and respected. You helped me bushwack a new path to be able to move forward on."

    —Former Client

  • "Dr. Lusk absolutely delivered. This was one of the more important sessions we’ve had as an organization. What stood out to me is that her message isn’t peripheral to what we do; it’s central. We spend a tremendous amount of time on product, process, and production; Dr. Lusk had us examining how we think, how we respond, how we show up in front of clients and each other."
